Comfortable bed and nice room. Couldn't adjust air conditioning so had a very warm sleep and felt claustrophobic. Other than that a beautiful building and easy parking.

It is a good options for families that will only sleep there and don't want to spend much money. The pool and spa are in good conditions and was the highlight for my kids. The staff at the front desk, fantastic. On the down side, the food is not great and the restaurant staff seems stretched. OK in general.

The room was average, nothing fancy but the bed was comfy. Pool even though not on the luxe side it was warm and the kids loved it. Breakfast was absolutely disgraceful, no cups available for juice, no forks and had to search for a plate as well. The food looked terrible so I didn't eat and my son only ate two things from the buffet. Definitely don't bother paying for breakfast, just go elsewhere. Otherwise simple stay and was only for a night.

Rydges was good for our 1 night stay but there was not much cleanliness. The kettle was dirty,no tissues in tissue box,floor was not clean as well. The premises otherwise was good and presentable. Breakfast had quite good options and staff at serving was friendly. Overall we liked it jist cleaning needs to be improved.
